Chapter 30 - Future Tech X SpaceX Satellite

    August 2012.


    A week after Future Tech released the AIM devices, Elon scheduled a video meeting with Vince to discuss their cooperation.


    "Good to see you, Vince. I know you''re busy with plenty of things at yourpany, but I just wanted to notify you about the SpaceX satellite we''ve designed with Future Tech''s assistance."


    "SpaceX willunch the first one you ordered next month, and we''d love to have you there to witness it. With our advanced AIM satellites and refined manufacturing process, we''ll be able to undercut Boeing and Lockheed Martin in satellite sales." Elon added.


    "Thanks for notifying me. I''ll send Morgan and Dor to Hawthorne to check on the satellite in a few weeks and meet you all a day beforeunch." Vince said.


    They bade farewells after some small talk, and Vince continued working with Patel and the AI department. He understood that most of their sess had been thanks to advanced AI technology.


    Close to a month had passed, and sales had been too good for Future Tech, and thepany had to stop pre-orders before fulfilling their current ones.


    The sheer demand was taking all the efforts of everyone to keep up.


    Morgan had to postpone the release of the new motherboards and dedicated graphics cards because he had no other options.


    Future Tech had to focus on manufacturing more Hive Mind suites because no other OEM could be contracted to produce their proprietaryponents.


    Sales projection was entirely off as everyone, and their mother wanted to own a Future Tech device.


    Thepany was currently $80 billion richer, and Vince decided to use $10 billion to purchase materials for more drones. (based on Apple''s 2012 revenue)


    Vince brought Aiya to watch the SpaceXunch live from mission control.


    They flew on a private jet with a few security operators andnded at the Hawthorne municipal airport a few hourster.


    The group rented a few ck SUVs and headed to the hotel to freshen up before going to SpaceX.


    Elon, Price, and Morgan weed them as they arrived at the headquarters. Elon showed them around and eventually brought them to the mission control room.


    The rocket and satellite were beingunched from Cape Canaveral in Florida while they were watching the live feed and experiencing how SpaceX operates.


    "Theunch will begin soon. It will take a few minutes for the pre-flight checks." Elon said.


    Vince and Elon talked about Aiya and AI bots while waiting for the checks to finish.


    They watched as the rocket pierced through the sky a few minutester, delivering their first advanced satellite containing a Bitcoin Bank backup and satelliteworking functionality.


    "Watch. The autonomousnding is the cool part." Elon said with a smile.


    With the use of Future Tech AI, SpaceX developed the autonomous VTOL system enabling the reusableponent tond itself four years in advance.


    The SpaceX engineers started pping, and some had tears in their eyes while Elon just stood there with a grin while watching the feed.


    SpaceX streamed the entireunching andnding process live on various video streaming tforms and received plenty of congrattions on the inte.


    "Elon, what if my satellite blew up while testing this new rocket?" Vince asked inquisitively.


    "Don''t be so modest, Vince. You can just pay to get another one made." Elon jokingly replied.


    [Damn. Elon''s right, but that''s still $500 million.] Vince thought.


    After theunch, Vince and his group immediately flew back to Austin.


    Vince still had plenty to do, but the new Hive Mind suites produced made life less stressful for everyone at Future Tech.


    It took another month before all the pre-orders were fulfilled and the additional stock was delivered.


    Hive Mind suites were made avable to Morgan''s processor division, and Future Tech used some to upgrade the headquarters simr to the penthouse fully.


    It was a beautiful day in November 2012 at Austin. The clear sky showered rays of sunlight while the new sr panels of the Future Tech headquarters absorbed the photovoltaic energy.


    The panel cells covered the building in a magical-looking crystalttice design.


    Locals admired the beautiful sight as they were passing through the downtown area.


    What people couldn''t see were therge battery units on the basement floors of the building.


    Arge bald Swedish man wearing semi-casual attire spoke to Patel at the AI division while Vince was on his way to meet them.


    "Christian, It''s great to meet you in person finally. Wee to Future Tech." Vince dered.


    "Thank you for having me, Vince. I have good news to share." Mr. Koenigsegg replied.


    "What''s got you all worked up?" Vince asked.


    "We got it to work! Freevalve! The most significant innovation in engine performance was electronically-controlled injection systems. With the help of Future Tech AI, we were able to develop an AI-controlled air valve system." Christian replied excitedly.


    "The engines are now much smaller without the need for bulky timing belts and camshafts. Engine performance is night and day. So it was more than worth giving you a 10% stake in mypany!" Christian added.


    "I''m d for your sess, but you could have told me over a video meeting," Vince replied.


    "I flew from Sweden to attend the 2012 Austin Form 1 Grand Prix to meet with Jean Todt. He''s the FIA president. I''ll be pitching the Freevalve system for use in the following form update. (Fédération Internationale de l''Automobile)


    "And I also brought you a little present—the new Agera SFV containing the new engine," Christian said with a grin.


    "I have the Agera R parked at the ground level. So we canpare the two at the Circuit of the Americas outside Austin." Vince offered, and Mr. Koenigsegg immediately agreed.


    Vince called Aiya to rent track time at COTA, which surprised Christian as he''d never seen an AI butler bot before.


    [Christian is quite happy after developing Freevalve. It makes sense because he had to form a separatepany in 2015 to develop the technology. He saved time and money working with us.] Vince thought.


    A burly man in a suit named Greg, Vince''s personal security for today, apanied Aiya, Vince, and Christian to COTA.


    They took the Rolls-Royce ssen Phantom while another security operator drove the Agera R behind them.


    The Agera SFV was initially brought into the country on one of the cargo nes used to transport Hive Mind suites.


    It was picked up by a hauler from the airport and was brought into the COTA pitnes.


    [This is gonna be fun!] Vince thought excitedly.


    Statsst time checked:


    15 million BTC (currently trades at $1,000)


    $75 Billion in Future Tech


    3800+ employees (Future Studios, Hive Mind AI, ARM, BitCash, Future Security)


    Fivepany coborators


    Dozens of investments under Future Tech Holdings
